It might tide you over for awhile. I think it depends on how big the area is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-need-to-dye-blazer#post-1797333 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 14:24:02 +0000 Anonymous 1797333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does your school operate a used uniform shop? Getting a replacement that way might be cheaper than having it dyed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-need-to-dye-blazer#post-1797011 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 17:00:18 +0000 cindysmith 1797011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's going to depend on a lot of different factors. Fiber content will determine type of dye, and even then the stitches around the seams and such may likely react differently to the dye. If the jacket is a natural fiber like cotton, it is dyeable, but if the thread used for seaming is synthetic, it will not take they dye unless you use a dye designed for synthetics, and that is a fairly intensive process involving a pot and boiling and constant stirring for a considerable length of time (I could make a Cajun roux in less time, and that's saying a lot!)</p> <p>You might try asking a tailor or dry cleaner in your area for suggestions, or see if you can find a "fiber artist" near you because they often know how different fibers will react to dyes and can check the fiber content and give you specific suggestions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-need-to-dye-blazer#post-1796938 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 13:01:32 +0000 Anonymous 1796938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a big problem. Is your blazer washable? It would be hard to dye if it is not washable. Does it have a lining? That can complicate things and would also be dyed. I also doubt that you could fully cover the light patch so that it would not show. I hope someone with experience with dye will respond. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-need-to-dye-blazer#post-1796928 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 12:34:14 +0000 hanshua 1796928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now a sophomore in high school and long story short my blazer oxidized while in the sun so there is a big light blue patch amoungst a dark blue jacket.
